I’m always amazed at how often I’m stymied by something in guidelines. ‘fiction and creative non-fiction writers must remove identifying information from their submission” But the same is not indicated for Poets and Artists. Are we to assume that the same obtains in all cases, or that since it is not explicitly stated one way or the other, that poets can put their contact information with their poems? Like the father on CNN’s SOMEBODY’S GOTTA DO IT commercial, I’m very literal!! LOL!

Frank, I am very sorry for the confusion. We’ve had more issues with fiction writers leaving identifying information on submissions than poets. Under the group heading “Writers and Artists,” we have requested everyone to remove identifying information. The specific sections give further information. Some poets send us more than six poems at a time. But yes, poets should remove identifying information as our preference is to read all submissions blindly and without bias.
